'Be it known that I, Louis ,Hr-Lsnnnv. a

. citizen of the United States, residing at Uxbridge in the county oflVorcester and State 'of'Ma-ssachusetts, havevinvented a new 7 anduseful Loom-Temple, of which the. following is-a specification.

j This invention relates to a l'oom temple which, while capable ofgeneral use, is particularly adapted for woolen, worsted, and

"- other fabrics.

The principal objects of the invention are to provide a temple of,simple and inexpensive construction which has no projecting parts likelyto,catch the hands or cloth- ;ing of the opera'tor,--to providemeans'where- Qby the temple will be operated upon-each beat of-the latheto firmly grip't'he cloth; to provide means whereby without the use ofthe well known separate-rings on the roll, the cloth will be caused tobe stretched properly over the breast-beam; to provide improved meansfor-holding the roll and for,

guardingit to provide an improved, adjusting-and holding device wherebythe temple may be moved along'the breast-beam with,- out disturbing itsadjustment, "and gen,- erally, to improve and simplify. the constructionof loom temples. v Y p Reference is to be had to the accompanyingdrawing which shows. one form of the invention and in which,

Figure 1 is a plan of the same showing it attached to the breast-beam,-Fig. 2 is an end view there'ofi, and Fig. 3' isa plan-of the i tion'onthe breast-beam-lO by placing along y the rotation-oi the-shaft Theslide 12 isfixed in adjusted positions along the dove-- the inner. edgethereof, aplate 11 having. a longitudinal dove-tailed groove there'm. In

this dove-tailed groove is mounted a slide 12 havinga slmilarlyshapedprojection.

which carriesprojections'" 13 constituting bearings for a shaft 14"which supports "a spring-15 and is provided with a projecting nose 16'forengaging theslide and limiting tailed slide by means o'f'boltsorthe'like; On the shaft lat are pivotally mounted uppivot screw or pin23 on which is pivot-ally mounted a head 24. This head is provided witha downwardly projecting pin 25 and the plate with a slot or opening 26to permit a slight amountof oscillating movement of the head 24. On thehead is mounted an arm 27 adapted to be engaged bya projection 28 p onthe lathe each timethe lathe beats forward. The movement of the lathethus oscillates the head backward and the temple toward the lathe. Aspring 29 moves it oppositely when the lathe beats back. The pin 25serves asa stop for both motions- The operation of thelathe in tiltingthe temple on each stroke and of the spring 29 in withdrawing it is forthe purpose of causing the pins of the temple to forcibly enter thecloth the temple after, the lathe starts back.

The he'ad 24 carries. a shaft 30 on which are pivotally mounted two caps31 and 32 each having a lock screw 33 for k :ping it out in horizontalposition. It is well understood that such acap has been employedheretofore for the top ofthe temple but so far ,as I am. aware, thebottom has never been protected'in this manner. By the use of the .'cap-32 all danger of the temple being injured by the motion .of the lathe orin any other way'is avoided.

-The templer0ll 35 is shown as-made of a single piece ofbrassloosefonlthe shaft 36 and of conicalform. The-pins 37 arearrangedfin rows which are almost longitudinal butwhicli have a'slighttwist around the roll. This provides for securely holding the preferredembodiment of the invention, I am aware that many modifications may bemade therein by .any person skilled in the art without departing fromthe'scope of the inven-- tion as expressed in the claims. Therefore,

' I do not wish to be limited to all the details of construction, but

and securely grip it on the return motion of While Ihave illustrated anddescribed a 7 means for securing the slide What i do claim 1. Thecombination u l the breast heain a loom, of a guide mounted i movablealong the guide, ha I tions, links extending upwarniy .2; projections, asuppm-t pivoted to the an of said links, meansadjustahly 'nccted withsaid support and slide for hoiding'ihe support 111 horizontal position,and

port and the slide for holding the port and head in horizontal position,and a maple carried by said head.

3. The combination with the breast-boa; ot' a loom, of a. guide mount acthereon, a slide movable along the guide, means for curing the slide inadjusted positions, links extending upwardly from the slide, a supportpivoted to the upper ends of said links, moans adjustably connected withsaid support and slide for'l'iolding the support in horizontal position,a plate carried by said support, a head mounted for angular movementllOllZOIltilllY on the plate, and a temple carried by said head.

'l-. The combination with the ln'east-hean'i of a loom, of a guidemounted hereon, a slide movable along); the uide, links extendat;upwardly from the lo, a sin port pivotml \o the upper ends of saidlinks, means conneelelh with said sugport and slide for holding; thesupport in horizontal position, and means connected with said supportfor holding a temple.

Tho combination with the breast-beam of a loom, of liulas extending;upwardly, a support piiolod to the uppor ends of said links, meanscommand with said support for holding the support. in horizontalposition, a

plate carriod by said. :uippol't, a lit-ad mount.-

(al for angular movement horizontally on the plate, and a \eu'iplecarried hy said head. t3. The combination with a breast-beam,

hereon and havl l l l l l l i UPPUl'i' of a support, means connectedwith the breast-beam and extending upwardly therefrom for pirotallycarrying said support, adjustable links" connected with the supporttorholding it in horizontal position as it swings on its pivot, and ineanscarried by the support for holding a temple.

'7. in a loom temple, the combination of a pivoted support having sidelips extending upwardly lllQlQflHflll, a plate carried by said betweensaid lips and adjustable on the support, a pivot on said plate, a headmounlwl on said pivot, and means for supporting a. temple on the head.

#5. in a loom, the combination with the brea t beam, cl a pivotallymounted head havia iii-vans projecting from one side for holding alemme, an army projecting from the plate. at the other side of "thepivot, and moans on the lathe tor engaging-said arm and wringing thehead about its pivot and the lathe as tho laiho heats up.

:1 in a loom tr-mple, the. combination of a pirotally mounted headhaving means projecting from one for holdi a temple, air-arm projecting;from the other side thereo ll'mcans on the lathe and swinging the headabout its pivot toward the lathe as the lathe heats up, a spring forswinging the head in the opposite direclion, and means carried by thehead for limiting the swinging motion thereof.

10. la a loom, the combination with the breast beam, 031? means forholding a'templo niovahly on the breast-beam, and means whereby thelathe will move the temple roll toward the lathe and from the breastbeam as the lathe heats up.

11. a loom, the combination with the breast-beam, a pivotally mountedtemple, and means on the lathe for swinging the huuple toward the latheasthelathe heats up.

in a loo 1, the combination with the breast-beam, a pivotally mountedtemple, and means on tho lathe for swinging the temple as U10 latheheats up toward the lathe about a vertical axis located between the endottho temple and the breast-beain.
